Thank You Thank You Thank You

In case you hadn’t already heard, the fundraising campaign for The Kidney Foundation of Canada ended today. The total raised: $6762. Since Banff Lake Louise Tourism is matching the first $5000 raised, that brings our official total to $11762. And of course, once Rick and I climb Cascade Mountain, Sulphur Mountain, and Mount Temple, Banff Lake Louise Tourism will hand over another cheque for The Kidney Foundation to the tune of $15000. All together, that’s $267621. And we couldn’t have done that without you.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.

Of course Rick and I still have to climb those three mountains, but that’s the easy part, right?

September 4 – check out of the Fairmont Chateau Banff Springs hotel and head home to Guelph via WestJet.

Honestly, I can’t wait. It’s going to be a very busy 9 days, but it’s also going to be completely amazing. I’m stoked that we get to hike 3 different mountains, I’m stoked that we get to stay at two luxury hotels2, I’m stoked that we have extra hikes that I didn’t know about, I’m stoked about the spa days3, and I’m stoked that I’ll get to do all of this right before the semester gets going.

But most of all, I’m stoked that we are able to do this and support such an awesome charity.
